On the way to discovering his cal l ing as a bartender, Bay Area native Scott Baird dabbled in other creative ventures—fl oral design, acting, and cooking, just to name a few. But after picking up a bar shift , Baird real ized his true passion lay behind the bar. He continued his mixology school ing at Cesar’s and Coco500 .In 2008, Baird partnered with the original owners of 15 Romolo to bring l i fe back to a dying bar. He soon met Josh Harris and the two revamped the Romolo menu, helping to earn i t a spot on Esquire’s 2010 “Best Bars in America” l ist . The duo also co-founded The Bon Vivants in 2009, a national ly recognized consult ing company through which they have created cocktai l programs for bars and restaurants on both coasts. In 2013, The Bon Vivants opened their highly anticipated bar, Trick Dog , in San Francisco. Scott is also the proud father of two.

What is an LLC?

A limited liability company, or LLC, is a business entity created under state law that combines characteristics of both a corporation and a partnership. Like a corporation, the owners of an LLC are generally not personally liable for company debts. Like a sole proprietorship or a partnership, an LLC has operating flexibility and is, by default, a "pass through" entity for tax purposes. This means that the LLC does not pay taxes on its profits, but instead, profits and losses are "passed through" to the owners, who must then pay tax on their share of LLC income.

What is a DBA?

DBA is an abbreviation for "doing business as.” If you're a sole proprietorship, you need a DBA to register your business name. Corporations and LLCs need a DBA if they use a different name than what's filed with the state. It allows one to open a business bank account and undertake transactions on behalf of the company

KNOW YOUR LOCAL LAWS

Conneticut, California & Massachusetts all have paid sick time laws, as do 18 cities across the

US, including San Francisco, New York City, Philadelphia,

Seattle and Portland.

In California, Nevada, Washington, Oregon,

Alaska and Minnesota, employers are required to pay workers full state minimum wage before tips. Over half of the

remaining states have higher tips-based

employee minimum wage including $7.46 in

Conneticut, $5.03 in Florida, $4.95 in Illinois.

California, Hawaii, New Jersey, New York,

Puerto Rico and Rhode Island require

businesses to provide partial wage

replacement insurance coverage for non-work

related sickness or injury.
